I usualy use 'gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)'.
but this time I used 'gcc version 2.7.2.3' and even 'gcc version gcc-2.95 19990629 (prerelease)'.
Result is that same for all these compilers:
I added 
                        case OP_RLIMIT:
                                rl_warn("setrlimit(%d, struct rlimit { rlim_cur %d; rlim_max %d };);", *++op, rlimittab_get(*++op)->rlim_cur, rlimittab_get(*op)->rlim_max);
//                              if(setrlimit(*++op, rlimittab_get(*++op)))
//                                      rl_fail1("setrlimit");
                                break;

and results:
Aug  9 13:48:24 linstar rlinetd[9781]: rlinetd configuration (re)loaded, 12816 bytes used
Aug  9 13:48:27 linstar rlinetd[9783]: setrlimit(0, struct rlimit { rlim_cur 0; rlim_max 1 };);
Aug  9 13:48:27 linstar rlinetd[9783]: setrlimit(1, struct rlimit { rlim_cur 5; rlim_max 1 };);
Aug  9 13:48:37 linstar rlinetd[9781]: OP_CLOSE closing already closed socket

Also I compiled rlinetd without any optimalization but that didn't help ;-(

My config for this service (/etc/rlinetd.d/test):

service "test" {
    protocol tcp;
    port "3000";
    user "misiek";
    exec "/bin/bash -i";
    server "/usr/sbin/tcpd";
    rlimit nproc {
        soft 5; hard 10;
        }
    rlimit cpu {
        soft 9; hard 11;
        }
}


My hardware isn't exotic ;-) Intel Pentium MMX, Soyo mainboard ....
